He was incredibly kind, attentive, and loving with our pups, and it was so obvious how comfortable and happy they were with him. In fact, I think it's safe to say they are now completely obsessed with Rhett. It means so much to us to know they were not just being well cared for, but were getting so much genuine affection and attention while we were gone. Being away from the pups can always make us a little anxious, and Rhett's updates continually reassured us that they were happy, comfortable and in great hands. We were able to actually relax and enjoy our time away because of him. We're grateful to Dog Gone Fitness for continuing their excellent service, and Rhett for being the best friend to Bart & Muffin.

My husband and I absolutely LOVE Sitter4Paws - shout out to our dog walker Kylie W. - and could not…read morebe happier with their service. We were very nervous to try a new dog walking service after relocating to west LA from Chicago, but with both of us working full time with commutes it became a priority very quickly. After some research I contacted Sitter4Paws with a few questions and to set up a meet and greet. They were (and continue to be) so responsive, kind and flexible - I knew we had made the right decision from the start. The daily updates/pictures we receive from the walks always put a smile on our faces, and we have never once been concerned that our dog wasn't being taken care of. I truly cannot recommend them enough! They go above and beyond when it comes to taking care of our dog, and we are so grateful for their service.

Whenever we are out on a walk and Eric also happens to be out, Artie squeals with excitement and can't wait to go over and greet Eric.

Highly recommend him for all your walking needs!

I have used Eric to help me walking my last two Rottweilers. He has been walking all breeds of dogs…read morein Venice for the last 8 years and has a lot of experience. A former TV editor, Eric is a smart & organized guy who decided he'd rather be outside with dogs than hunched over a computer. He is very responsible and generally takes dogs out 1-on-1 rather than some services that stick 10 dogs in a truck. He does neighborhood 30 minute walks for $20. The downside is he really is focused on Venice, Mar Vista, Southern Santa Monica. If you are in the area he covers, he is a great choice to walk your dog. If not, he can probably give you a referral to another walker. He will also offer coaching to new dog owners with puppies on the basics of getting the right collar, training, etc. though he does not do "dog training" per se.

I've had a great experience with Doggie Bliss! I'd never used a dog walking service before, and was…read morea little nervous to have someone come into my house and take my dog out. Shannon was so kind in explaining how it would all work, and in giving me the option to do a meet and greet with the walker beforehand. They use an app that is easy to navigate, and they provide clear updates during their visits (you get notifications when the walker arrives and departs, photos and a written note about how it went, a map showing their walk route, and a checklist of the tasks that the walker completed). Their prices are also reasonable. It's a relief to have such a wonderful option for my dog when I'm out of the house for a longer period of time; I recommend!

Beware of Red Flags: Dishonest, Disorganized, and Unsanitary Pet Sitting Service…read more We almost learned the hard way what happens when you ignore red flags in favor of enthusiastic energy. Over 2.5 months, we rationalized this sitter's disorganization, unsanitary habits, and lack of experience out of desperation before a 10-day trip. Five days before our flight, she backed us into a corner to price-gouge us--demanding over 2.7x our agreed rate after sending 3 conflicting texts in a single day and creating fake policies on the spot. Shockingly, while attempting to demand this higher rate, she suddenly unveiled a hidden policy: claiming her top-tier "VIP 24/7" care allows her to sneak out and leave pets unattended for up to 4 hours a day to service other clients. Whether invented to manipulate us or concealed from the start, it reveals a complete lack of transparency and integrity. Red Flag 1: Lack of Hygiene, Basic Safety, & Care Skills *Dangerous Leash Handling: During a practice walk, the sitter kept the leash pulled taut with zero slack and repeatedly yanked our dog. We were extremely uncomfortable watching her essentially strangle our dog on the walk and had to explicitly coach her on how to give slack so he could maneuver. She admitted to having very little experience walking small dogs and it clearly showed. *Unsanitary Waste Handling: When wiping our dog's rear after he went number 2, she wiped side-to-side, smearing feces all over her hand. She had no intention of washing her hands until we stopped by a public bathroom and forced her to wash them. Her excuse was that she "wasn't going to touch anything until she got home." She remained oblivious to the fact that she was actively holding our dog's leash, couldn't scoop him up if another dog approached, and was supposed to use those same hands to wipe his face with a cloth if our dog sniffed something super dirty. *Gross Unsanitary Habits: She washed our dog's food bowl using only bare hands and water--completely bypassing the dish sponge sitting next to the sink. The bowl remained greasy and had to be rewashed. *Food Safety Carelessness: Requested dark chocolate as her personal snack in a dog-centric home, showing a total lack of awareness around toxic food hazards. Red Flag 2: Shifting Rates & Last-Minute Price Gouging From day one, 3/12/2026, we made it clear our dog cannot be left alone for more than 10 minutes due to severe separation anxiety (see screenshots). We hired her for 2 daycare sessions specifically to get her familiar with our dog and home--where her job was exceptionally easy as she basically laid on the couch the entire time. On 7/28/2026, 11 days before claiming she didn't know our dog required 24/7 care, we sent our detailed boarding guide. She enthusiastically promised to review it, but her actions during demo day proved she never did. Later that day, she texted "I understand that Tofu shouldn't be left alone"--yet in the very next breath, bafflingly asked if she could leave him to go work out during his boarding stay, despite knowing full well he has severe separation anxiety. On 8/7/2026, just 5 days before our first trip of two back to back, a series of bait-and-switch texts unfolded: (see screenshots) 1) 10:14 AM: Sitter texted asking if we would pay her "$190 VIP rate" instead, claiming 24/7 care normally costs $250-$300/day (a tier that did not exist on her website at the time). 2) 2:43 PM: We were okay paying more but asked her to honor her original quote of $180/day. 3) 3:17 PM: She ignored her proposed $190/day rate and tried to gouge us for $325/day. 4) 5:33 PM: Claimed her $190 VIP rate "still allows me about 4 hours during the day to care for other clients"--leaving dogs unattended and directly contradicting her website's claim of servicing "One family at a time." Red Flag 3: Hidden Property Damage & Neglect *Unreported Damage: She off-tracked and broke our patio screen door during daycare so it couldn't close. There was no way she was unaware, yet she offered zero mention or acknowledgment. We brought it up with her to emphasize trust and transparency. *Neglecting Other Clients' Animals: During a 3-hour prep session and dinner with us, she disclosed she was actively house-sitting a 15-year-old dog with dementia elsewhere--leaving that vulnerable senior dog completely unattended for over 3 hours. This must be the VIP care package. *Disorganization: Continually got dates wrong, miscounted booking days, and failed to follow basic written instructions despite a comprehensive guide with step-by-step photos. Entrusting someone with your pet requires total transparency and basic care standards. When a sitter responds to clear expectations with price-gouging, disorganization, and unsanitary habits, the best decision is to walk away. Protect your pets and look elsewhere.

Because they are together all the time, it can be hard for her to truly relax or enjoy herself when she has to go somewhere Cookie can't come along. Knowing Cookie is happy, safe, and loved while she's away means the world to her. We have been using Spoiled Pooch for over two years now, and we truly could not recommend them more. They are professional, incredibly communicative, reliable, and so caring. Cookie gets genuinely excited when she sees the girls who take care of her, which says everything. The same two girls have been taking care of Cookie for more than two years now, and I think that really says a lot about the company. It's so nice to see such a low turnover rate with pet sitters because it shows that the people working there are happy with what they do and happy with the company they work for. Heather and Bianca and Jeanetta are amazing. Not only do we trust them completely with Cookie's safety and well-being, but we also trust them in our home and with the security of our home. That level of trust is rare to find. We honestly wouldn't trust Cookie with anyone else.

I have also used Hillary to overnight pet and house sit my dog while I went out of town on two occasions.
